Because the signals for the cellphones would effect the electronics of the ICU. Not the patient's hearts.
Unless they had a pacemaker and you jammed your phone into their chest while calling someone.

It's the pacemakers that would be turned off by the magnetic field of the phone, which would cause the heart to go into an irregular rhythm that would in turn be picked up by the monitors.
And thus your a** would be booted out for it.
Pacemakers are made to be turned on or off with a magnet. So they don't have to open you up every time it's tested or calibrated.

Yeah. They don't affect people's hearts.
They affect pacemakers. Just like a lot of other things that shoot out all kinds of EM radiation.

My uncle has had a pacemaker nearly his whole life. He uses a cell phone all the time. I know a small amount about this because of him. Cell phones can set off a pacemaker if it's six inches or closer to the pacemaker, so I doubt having a cell phone in a hospital would set off someone's pacemaker unless they set the phone against the area of his heart.

Chaplain Fenix Unless they had a pacemaker and you jammed your phone into their chest while calling someone. I laughed picturing this.

Dolphins do, on occasion, try to ******** people.

Well, if I'm wrong, forgive me, but wouldn't a persistent state suggest minimal movement. That is to say, almost none if not entirely none? Measured Red Shift suggests great amounts of movement.

And some people can touch a toaster, and get an irregular heart rhythm from that.
Each person is different.
You can't look at a singularity, and apply it to an entire group. And in the same context, you can't look at a singularity and think that when it happens multiple times or all at once, that there isn't some larger scale impact.
Energy never dies.
G'night folks. This has been entertaining.

Here, hold this for me.

Boop boop beep brring brring!
The deep tissue massaging I had done was electronic. The chiropractors put a few pads on my back and stimulated the injured muscles.
That wasn't innuendo at all.
